Define a Woman Warrior ? A Woman Warrior is someone who embodies all the qualities it takes to succeed . Passion , strength , discipline , understanding , willpower … just to name a few . However , what truly defines a Woman Warrior is her power to NEVER GIVE UP ! Despite the obstacles , doubts , and judgments , a warrior will always get back up and fight for their dreams !
What Obstacles did you overcome to get to where you are today ? As a young woman entrepreneur , I have dealt with many obstacles throughout my life that I believe have prepared me to be the woman I am today . Growing up as an only child to a single mother , I experienced having responsibilities at a very young age . My father being incarcerated inspired me to live my life to the fullest and with passion for what I do everyday ! Personally and professionally the obstacles have been tough , many long nights , tears , self-doubt , lawyers , traumatic personal experiences … but after years of hard work , in May of 2020 I opened Blyss Beauty … in a Pandemic ! January of 2021 I announced the opening of Blyss Beauty Certification Academy … and we are just getting started !
What word of advise would you like to share ? Focus on you , your goals , and on what is ahead . Believe in yourself and never give up ! In the words of one of my favorite female artists “ How come nobody ever told you , all you must hold onto , is you ” - Erykah Badu n
